We have been practicing throwing and catching skills on the muga this morning. It would be great if you could practice this is the garden or at the park during the holidays.

We went to the library this afternoon! Thank you to everyone for bringing back library books. We love sitting quietly and looking through our favourite books. We are looking forward to reading our books over the holidays too.

Our half-termly celebration assembly took place today – what a busy 8 weeks we have had in school! We have covered lots of the curriculum already.

Reception talked about their book ‘Aliens Love Underpants’ and the alien shapes they had made inspired by the books.

1L told us how they are reading Arnold’s (The School Dog) body language to see what he is trying to communicate.

1M had a great time outdoors on the MUGA making human numbers.

Year 2 celebrated with a visit from Samuel Pepys and other characters from the Great Fire of London in 1066.

Year 3 treated us to a demonstration of some of the moves they had learned from the Royal Ballet School.

Year 4 have had a busy half term and showed us their Roman aqueducts, read us a newspaper report about Robin Hood and told us about the musical instruments they had made inspired by the topic on sound.

Year 5 were swimming but they have been extremely busy too! Splish splash!

Year 6 inspired us all with a powerpoint presentation about their trip to Waterpark.

On World Maths Day Year 5 and 6 took part in a range of exciting activities. In 6A we designed paper planes using various techniques. We then flew each plane three times, measured the distance flown and time in the air. We then calculated the average for each and decided on a winner!

On Monday afternoon, we welcomed the Pete from the Fire Service into Year 2. He talked to us about fire safety, the importance of smoke alarms and planning a fire escape plan for getting out of the house in the case of a fire.

We enjoyed the afternoon, take a look at what we did and how much we enjoyed ourselves:
